2025/2026 Group Trips

South Island Multisport - New Zealand 

Max group size: 14

January 25th - February 8th, 2026
Two weeks in New Zealand! The most expensive trip of the three, but when you consider two FULL weeks in New Zealand, it's a great price! And makes the 15 hour flight worth it! This is what I'm considering as my ULTIMATE adventure trip. We will be hiking, biking, and exploring everything New Zealand's South Island has to offer. Tons of optional 'build your own adventure' activities, which include:
  • Heli hiking on a glacier
  • Skydiving
  • Dolphin tour
  • Bungee jumping
  • Scenic coastal flights
  • Heli glacier landing
  • Kayaking
  • Nature walks

Total cost: $4149

Snorkeling the Maldives 

 

October 3rd - October 9th
Max group size: 8 (this one will likely sell out very quickly!)
The Maldives is a bucket list destination for so many people and considered one of those "once in a lifetime" trips. But here's the catch - those gorgeous overwater bungalows you see in the Maldives? EXPENSIVE. We're talking $1000/night. Plus, you only see one island! With this itinerary, you can explore everything the Maldives has to offer by sailing the South Male and Felidhu atolls. Trip includes:
  • 7 days aboard a classic snorkeling dhoni boat.
  • Snorkeling locations twice/day
  • Maldives plastic beach clean up
  • All meals provided (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
  • Bodu Mora Island visit
  • Felidhu atoll visit
  • Visit some of the world's best islands, beaches, and sandbars

Total cost: $1849
